Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers Champions Animal Welfare on Farms!

Wisconsin’s farmed animals can breathe a sigh of relief as Governor Tony Evers vetoed the detrimental “Protect Our Farms” Act. This pivotal decision ensures that essential protections for cows, pigs, chickens, and other farmed creatures remain intact.

The bill, supported by factory farms, aimed to strip local governments of their authority to enforce stricter animal welfare standards. If passed, it would have confined thousands of animals to cramped, unsanitary conditions, depriving them of basic rights to movement, care, and natural behaviors.

Governor Evers, recognizing the bill’s dire implications, took a stand against it. He emphasized the importance of maintaining local control over animal welfare, preventing the erosion of existing protections, and safeguarding communities from inhumane practices like puppy mills. By vetoing the bill, Governor Evers not only protected farmed animals but also upheld the integrity of local ordinances aimed at ensuring their well-being.
